My 2 sisters and I are total Civil War Geeks. I don’t mean we actually dress up and re-enact battles, but we really love to read about that time period. We decided to take a “Girl’s Roadtrip” down there for a long weekend and were absolutely floored by the whole experience. No tacky tourist trap, this. The countryside and farmhouses were very much as they were in the 1860s and the museums were astounding.

One afternoon we sat up on Seminary Ridge and I painted this watercolor landscape of the rolling hills looking out toward Dwight Eisenhower’s farmhouse. I only had a half hour but the Pennsylvania scenery was just drop dead gorgeous and I couldn’t pass it up.
